Kanye West Selling His Supposed Beach-Front ‘Bomb Shelter’ Property for THIS Amount

Kanye West is making a big move on his real estate portfolio as it was reported recently that he is now selling his million-dollar property that he allegedly attempted to restore to become a bomb shelter.

According to a report published by People Magazine, the rapper is putting his beachfront Malibu home in the market after purchasing it two years ago.

Initially, the musician paid a whopping $57 million for the house that has breathtaking views of the ocean from every room.

Now, he's only selling the property for $53 million. TV personality Jason Oppenheim, who stars in the reality show "Selling Sunset," is the one in charge of the current sale.

He told the outlet that the "Donda" hitmaker removed the interiors of the house that's why the asking price is lower compared to the original one.

Kanye West's Property Was Designed by a Renowned Architect

West's property was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, it has 4,000 square feet of interior space and over 1,500 square feet of outdoor living areas.

Ando was the same person behind Jay-Z and Beyonce's property, also in Malibu, that cost over a whopping $200 million, which is considered to be the most expensive house in the state of California, second in the entire United States.

"This architect is known for his concrete work, which is what remains... So it's really going to be up to the new buyer to imagine the interiors that he or she wants," Oppenheim explained.

He added, "It was a very minimalist interior previously and will likely continue to be that in order to allow the architecture to speak louder than the finishes."

Kanye West Initially Planned the Property to be a Retro Bomb Shelter

Kanye West was entangled in a lawsuit a few months ago after he fired the project manager and property caretaker named Tony Saxon.

He noted that the rapper decided to fire him as he refused to remove all the windows and electricity f or the Malibu property. (via NBC News)

Saxon revealed that the musician wanted the property to be a "bomb shelter from the 1910s" so he wanted marble bathrooms, windows, plumbing, and electricity to be removed. He also wanted the stairs to be slides.
